Glad you posted this. I'm in the same boat. Have to love contract disputes where everyone pretends they're acting in the best interest of the client, but we're the only ones getting screwed.
I've found you can generally get free movie channels out of it if you call and threaten to leave, but in our area we're out CBS and FOX so I'm almost past the point of threatening and about ready to walk.

Dish. Those things are still around?
Seriously, I would sign up for a free trial from a streaming service, such as YouTube TV. If you don't want it, end it. At least you got to see the historical game.

LOL I'm a step slow on the technology side and never really had problems with Dish Network until recently with their contracts with the different outlets and "not wanting to force higher prices on their customers".

Free trial of YouTubeTV or Hulu. Cancel after the week is over.
Better yet, keep YT TV and tell Dish to piss up a rope. Streaming services are where it's at. Way cheaper, no contracts, no equipment, cloud DVR, and the same if not better channel selection.
A lot of people don't know this, but with YouTube you can have up to 5 different people on one account limited to 3 streams simultaneously.
My best friend and I share an account and he just Venmo's me half the bill every month (we livce across town from each other). I get YTTV for $33 a month and so does he. There's never been a time where both of our households have tried to watch 4 streams at once.

Easy as Sunday Morning
Go to Youtube TV and get a free trial for one or two weeks
YouTube TV - Watch & DVR Live Sports, Shows & News

All you need is the internet
And the Youtube TV app which is may be on your TV or you can download
it on most smart TVs.
You could buy a roku stick for about $20 from Amazon or at Best Buy, Walmart, etc
Here is a link to how to watch Youtube TV on your own TV
how do I get youtube TV on my tv - Google Search

You might want to subscribe to it after a trial run. No contract, Unlimited DVR. I automatically record all Hawkeye football and basketball games. I watched the Hawkeye Tennessee NCAA tournament game the other day.

My brother in law gave me the same logical argument. I think my Dish days are numbered.

Here's how you do the thing where you share your account with other people...
I couldn't believe it when I heard about it but it's true. We've both been watching tv on the same account, single charge, different houses for over a year now.

Gonna see if that works for my EX. We are on very good terms and she uses my Netflix account.
She will owe me even more favors.

I switched to Playstation Vue years ago until they discontinued their service and then swtiched to youtube TV. Only reason I didnt go to YT to start was because they were having a fight with Amazon (I had 5 Amazon Fire TVs), which has since been resolved. YouTube TV is a good service, I don't miss mediacom one bit. Unlimited DVR is nice.

It works really well nowadays with electronic payments. Don't have to remember to pay anyone or track your buddy down for that month's payment. When we started it he just set up an automatic Venmo payment and every month (don't remember what day) I get a notice on my phone that I just got paid $33.

Get me better internet service in rural Iowa and I'd be all over it.
In the meantime I'm stuck with shitty services like The Dish.

See below, and right now that's pretty good considering my boys are not on their online stuff yet.
During the Cubs season I was able to stream the games on Hulu ok, just as long as I kept my kids from streaming anything.
